Brinds Well Day Nursery (Orpington)

Very pleased! My daughter completely enjoys it. She is familiar with the staff and very comfortable with them. The outdoor activities are particularly a plus and the day is very interactive for the kids. I will definitively recommend Brindswell.

Couldn’t wish for a better team to look after my children.

My only slight criticism is that sometimes morning drop-offs are hectic within certain rooms and breakfast is not always out. When it is the breakfast table, it is not always big enough for everyone, and the child will sometimes feel isolated as they cannot sit down, making the drop off sometimes longer than needed.

Very happy with the Nursery. Both my daughters have attended/are attending and the staff clearly care about them. The facilities are good. There are some aspects that could be improved such as feedback to patents but overall I am extremely happy with the Nursery and how much girls are looked after.

As a parent, you are always happy if your child is happy but it goes further than that. A lot of care goes into ensuring that nursery standards are met, but a lot of effort goes into going that "extra mile".

The communication between staff and parents is crucial and we always feel that we've spent a day at the nursery along with our son. We not only get a daily verbal report but via the use of the app, we can monitor his progress and development and the weekly newsletter provides an overview of the nursery's weekly activities.

The facilities are exemplary, but it's the staff along with the facilities that make this nursery stand out from the others. Every day our son partakes in different activities, and two days are never the same. Along with supportive and caring staff, it means that our son has not just grown academically but is learning independence and confidence which really shines through when he's away from the nursery environment.

I couldn't recommend the nursery enough.

Some sort of parents evening every 6 months might be an idea and also maybe a PTA so the parents can organise events to raise money for the nursery.

We are very happy with Brindswell. We have a son in the preschool and a daughter is in ladybirds. They are both very happy in their classes. My son has attended since 10 months old and he has developed so well in their care. He is learning a great deal in preschool, his letters, numbers and general knowledge are constantly developing and it's clear they incorporate lots of learning whilst playing throughout the day.

The online journal is excellent and I enjoy reading the reports, they go into great detail compared to some I've seen from other nurseries and really highlight the personalities of my children. I know the staff in both rooms really understand my children and know them well so when they aren't quite themselves it will usually be fed back to me or a phone call will be made so I am reassured they are in safe hands throughout the day.

All the staff are lovely, right down to the catering staff who know the children's names and interact with them when approached.

Both of my children have attended Brinds Well since 1-year-old. The staff, in my opinion, are highly trained and provide all the care and attention needed to look after children in such a positive way. They feel cared for, they are happy and both have run through the doors to get to their room!

Amazing staff - very happy child. Always excited to go each morning and the nursery room staff and receptionist are amazing with the kids and genuinely care.

I feel very confident and happy every day when I drop him off and I am greeted by a very happy little boy when I pick him up.

My son has received excellent care at Brinds Well since 2014 and has progressed from Caterpillars through the various rooms to pre school. He has flourished in the pre school room and loves coming each day. I feel the staff provide a very high level of care and as a result, I can go to work and not worry because I know he is in good hands. The staff take a real interest in the children's development. It is great to have a male member of staff in pre-school. When there have been any issues they have been dealt with very promptly. I would not hesitate to recommend Brinds Well.

My son enjoys a variety of good and varied meals. I would like to see less tinned fruit and more fresh fruit wherever possible.

The nursery has lovely facilities, with each room having their own garden. The only concern I have is that it is becoming very popular and very busy place, some days it is starting to look a bit chaotic just because of the number of children.

My children have absolutely loved their time at the nursery. The staff have all been lovely and my children's key workers have been exceptional. I have never had to worry about their safety and would most definitely recommend this nursery to anyone. They have built such beautiful relationships with the staff and my children talk lovingly about the staff at home. This really is a fantastic nursery.

My daughter has thrived at the nursery and loves going. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and have a genuine interest in each and every child.

I have three children that have, or do, attend Brinds Well Day Nursery. My eldest is now at school but still enjoys some time there when we pick up the youngest who actually looks forward to going to nursery. The staff that do, and have, looked after my children have all been great, really friendly and caring. The receptionist is always friendly and extremely helpful and the cook has gone out of her way to be helpful with the children.

I have had both my children in Brinds Well nursery and I've never had an issue with anything. My son who is now at school still asks can he go back as he loved it. The nursery is very clean and all the staff are very friendly. I would definitely recommend this nursery to friends.

-My daughter is very happy at nursery.

I have two children at this nursery. I've always found the staff go above and beyond what is expected in order to look after the children. The nursery is proactive in teaching the children by using fun games and their menus are varied and nutritious. I couldn't ask for more from a nursery.

Our two kids (16 months and almost 3 years old) love this nursery. Both started in the baby room at approx 1 year old and have been really happy since then. They never want to go home. I really like the activities for both my kids, the variety of things they get to do include messy play (great that it's not at my house!). Great space both indoor and outside, lots of space and light, good food and staff have been very accommodating to or special requests. The staff are always very kind to the kids and help them settle in the nursery and every time they move rooms.

I love the parking drop off facility. The premises is always clean and tidy. The staff are always helpful and happy and the food is great for the kids. The Ladybirds section of the nursery where my son goes could benefit a bit by getting more involved with the kids, strangely my son still cries upon drop off and collection which is sad but possibly normal, though if it continues for much longer we may consider taking him to another nursery. We have heard only good things about Brinds Well otherwise and commend all the staff for what is also a challenging task with so many kids.
